TECHNICAL PAPER SEPTEMBER 2013 Industrial Dewatering System Finds Reliability in KISM Wireless Solution Customer’s pre-existing dialer

KISM Wireless Modem and PLC

Problem: An industrial remediation pumping station utilized an existing telephone dialer that was outdated and extremely unreliable. The operators were not able to depend on the telephone dialer reporting the system flow rates, flow totals or alarm callouts. The existing dialer utilized old phone modem technology which created difficulty logging into the dialer to get their reporting information. The dialer system did not have trending capability and had no provisions for future expansion.
